What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

Awesome as always Jocke.

Might not be to everyone’s taste but ultimately it’s your watch to do with as you please. Great photography as usual
